Geotechnical drilling can be generally subdivided into two major areas: test borings aimed at retrieving soil, rock and other material samples in order to evaluate the physical properties and determine the structure of the penetrated matter for geotechnical engineering design; and instrumentation borings conducted as a test borings as well but mainly for the purpose of installing geotechnical instruments.

GeoTek Engineering, Inc. routinely conducts soil and bedrock test borings for major bridge and highway projects in New England as well as for small private foundation design jobs. Bedrock coring and undisturbed sampling are widely used on the projects. At the same time we are specializing in and extremely well tooled up for very special test borings where artificial man-made components are to be tested and sampled such as concrete, slurry and soil-cement mix. GeoTek Engineering, Inc. conducted over 20,000 LF of soil cement coring for the biggest soil stabilization program on CA/T Project in Boston. We own top of the art coring tools and mastered an expertise level, which allows receiving maximum possible recovery of the cores. GeoTek Engineering, Inc. also specializes in conducting test borings in limited access and overhead spaces. Geotechnical drilling is reported with boring logs done in accordance with the Burmister or modified Burmister system by our staff geologists.
